“ We will provide a high level of managed services and expertise to support our customers as the market matures ”
KARL HAVARD MANAGING DIRECTOR , TAIGA CLOUD
for Taiga Cloud ( formerly Northern Data ’ s Cloud Solutions business ) shared Aroosh Thillainathan ’ s vision to support growing trends and leverage the best technologies of its partners .
“ One thing that struck me when initially engaging with Aroosh and Northern Data Group was the vision and the opportunity to build a brand new type of cloud business specifically for Gen AI . Such opportunities don ’ t come along that often ; it ’ s a hugely exciting one , and it made the decision to join Northern Data Group very easy ,” says Havard .
Taiga Cloud is supported by its sister business Ardent Data Centers ; a key strategic partner from a data-centre perspective , which was also born out of Northern Data to manage its own specific business area . Although Taiga operates worldwide , its heart lies within Europe , it is a European company , and has the ability to offer its customers true EU compliance and sovereignty .
“ We do have global customers , but our heart is in Europe . We ’ re building the largest estate of the latest Nvidia hardware , and this expansion will continue right through 2024 , and beyond . The A6000 and A100s we already have , have been in place for two years , all now being used . For those that don ’ t know , the A100 is what ChatGPT was trained on ,” says Havard as he demonstrates
